    How often do you reboot?

    I wonder if there is a thread somewhere on this forum that has a description of each of the kinds of reboot, and the types of issues that are associated with each. I’m aware of the logo reset, and the steering wheel two buttons and brake reset. But I’ve also heard tell of a “hard” reset, which...

    Solid State EV Batteries coming sooner than expected - 2025??!!

    No timeline here for how long it will take to go from this initial demonstration project to mass production and integration into cars on the market… is 3 to 5 years a reasonable possibility? Still, always good to see some practical steps forward!

    Any option for GAP insurance for lucid cars?

    I was just told by a Natick CS rep that the Lucid leases (Tryon) include GAP coverage....does this seem right? (still haven't seen the lease details; not sent til 48hrs before delivery!?!) One of the insurers I'm considering offers a GAP option ($70/yr), the other does not.

    Tuxmat Help Needed

    What's the primary reason(s) that you all are looking to avoid using the Lucid mats? (my car's arriving earlier than expected in Maine and while I'd be way open to something better, the house brand may be my best immediate option at this point)

    Clicking sound from under the car in cold weather

    It would be helpful to get a bit more definitive answer as to whether this is something that is Just Fine to drive with until things warm up and melt, or whether the noise (clicking, etc) indicates something that could or would eventually break. Those of you who've had this happen, did it...

    Driving in Snow

    Great, just knowing they actually do help in poor conditions is good to know. I won't be heading to the mountains in winter, but there may be a day when things are more dicey than I usually bother to go out in....

    Beyond the Charging Curve: What Are Your Real-World DCFC Speeds?

    Well THIS clarifies a lot for me. I've been wondering how to reconcile the 12min/17min/18min "200 mile charge" ad copy with the charging curve and real-world charge times everyone seems to agree are reality. I'd always *assumed* that 200-mile recharge was for charging in the standard/nominal...

    Ha! (ergh) I found the back door into the full editable profile when I went to take the shot. Previously, I had just clicked on my name in the header, then on About....I guess that's the public profile, makes sense... This time when I went to my name I right-clicked (not even sure why!), and...

    Hi Joe. I was just trying to change the car listed on my Profile; I'm now getting a Touring rather than Pure. That field doesn't seem to want to be re-typed into, and I don't see an "edit" button.... Clues? (car not here yet; perhaps once it arrives, when I click "Verify" the system will...

    Driving in Snow

    Being retired, I can hunker down during the actual storms, and I don't ski, so I've been feeling fine about my Air Touring with jjust all-seasons. I've wondered how useful the socks would be.....can anyone speak from experience on them? Thanks.

    Clicking sound from under the car in cold weather

    Is this "AGS" the same thing that Chilly and Borski are calling "louvres"? I'd guessed that meant the plastic flaps in front of the wheels, but I guess not.....what is the AGS, and/or the louvres? (Prepping for my car to be delivered in a week or so; thought it'd be spring but it looks like...

    Lease Deals are INSANELY GREAT

    Blue Lectroid and West of Boston: Like others, I'm very keyed into the Residual that you'd pay if you decide to keep it. I expect to keep my Pure more than 3 years, as I don't really expect the next gen batteries to be fully deployed til a bit later; that 2nd car will be my "forever" Lucid...

    Help is on the way - the state of new charging stations

    Related, but potentially more of a game-changer, is this other announcement last week: https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/4/24312002/ev-plug-and-charge-universal-protocol-sae-pki-roaming The idea is a shared protocol allowing drivers to skip the individual charger-company apps -- to recognize...

    Range Questions after first trip

    Interesting to see here that the EPA 5-cycle test applies a 0.7x conversion to the highway miles achieved on the test, BEFORE doing the combination factor with the city driving. So the reported highway MPGe is already adjusted for more aggressive driving...?? If the 2-cycle tests, which...

    Range Questions after first trip

    That looks pretty minor….what’s driving the $30K bill? Were there sensor/safety issues that precluded you driving it til parts come, though you could drive it in to the shop? (If you’ve gone into all this elsewhere, just say so and I’ll search it out!)

    Does every 2025 DreamDrive have 360?

    When I called the national sales line to ask about these early ‘25 Pures with only base DreamDrive (so no cameras except backup view), I was told that some of the early ‘25s also do NOT have the heat pump. If I was looking at any of the “on site” 2025’s, I’d want them to check on the heat pump...

    Any insights on (potentially) expiring Air/EV/Onsite credits on 11/30/24?

    They roll out the credits a month at a time—you’ll see most in December too, but nothing is guaranteed…

    Battery temp and "Regenerative braking reduced" warning

    In winter and high summer, does this "manage the battery temp" include some heating and cooling, separate from triggering the "preconditioning" operation? I guess I mean, then, does the battery conditioning (heating/cooling) system operate automatically when plugged in during extreme climate...

    Battery temp and "Regenerative braking reduced" warning

    If I keep the car plugged in when at home (somewhere I heard "a happy car is a plugged in car"??), then in winter I could presumably pre-condition prior to heading out, with the car topping itself off as needed, up to its pre-set max. Yes? (I think that this, and/or pre-heating the cabin in...

    UX 2.5 OTA Update

    This is interesting to me, what with all the flaky wifi reports here and there on the forum. My home wifi could be marginal to the garage; if I don't use wifi in the car, can Bluetooth be my link between phone and car, for initiating charging, etc? (I plan to use the Lucid Mobile Charger...
